Tinnitus and its relationship with muscle tenderness in patients with headache and facial pain

Abstract

In a population of patients with headache and craniofacial pain, tinnitus was related to increased cervical muscle tenderness and pericranial muscle tenderness scores, rather than to any particular form of headache.

Psychiatric Distress as a Common Risk Factor for Tinnitus and Joint Pain: A National Population-Based Survey

“…To our knowledge, a comprehensive analysis of the comorbidity of tinnitus and joint pain is absent in the literature. However, numerous reports in the literature have documented tinnitus and temporomandibular disorder, headache, and facial pain [24,25]. Thus, this could be the first study that statistically evaluates the comorbidity of tinnitus and various sites of joint pain.…”

Association Between Subjective Tinnitus and Cervical Spine or Temporomandibular Disorders: A Systematic Review

“…Only the latter articles were included, as they contained the most relevant information for this review. Consequently, a total of 22 independent articles were included in this study ( Akhter et al., 2013 ; Bernhardt et al., 2004 ; Bonaconsa et al., 2010 ; Buergers, Kleinjung, Behr, & Vielsmeier, 2014 ; Camparis, Formigoni, Teixeira, & De Siqueira, 2005 ; De Felicio, Melchior, Ferreira, & Rodrigues Da Silva, 2008 ; de-Pedro-Herraez, Mesa-Jimenez, Fernandez-de-Las-Penas, & de-la-Hoz-Aizpurua, 2016 ; Effat, 2016 ; Fernandes, de Godoi Goncalves, de Siqueira, & Camparis, 2013 ; Hilgenberg et al., 2012 ; Khedr et al., 2010 ; Kuttila, Kuttila, Le Bell, Alanen, & Suonpaa, 2005 ; Lee et al., 2016 ; Park & Moon, 2014 ; Parker & Chole, 1995 ; Pekkan, Aksoy, Hekimoglu, & Oghan, 2010 ; Peroz, 2003 ; Pezzoli et al., 2015 ; Ren & Isberg, 1995 ; Rocha & Sanchez, 2007 ; Rubinstein, Osterberg, Rosenhall, & Johansson, 1993 ; Tuz, Onder, & Kisnisci, 2003 ). No additional articles were identified from the reference lists of the articles ( Figure 1 ).…”

“…No studies were found in which tinnitus was explored in patients with and without CSD. Of the studies investigating the association between tinnitus and TMD, three studies examined patients with and without tinnitus, wherein both groups also complained about bruxism ( Camparis et al., 2005 ), disc displacements of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ; Ren & Isberg, 1995 ), or headache or facial pain ( Pezzoli et al., 2015 ). Most patients were recruited from general or specialized hospitals/ENT departments.…”

“…Studies were grouped into one of five categories: (a) The association between tinnitus and CSD was analyzed in five studies ( Khedr et al., 2010 ; Kuttila et al., 2005 ; Pezzoli et al., 2015 ; Ren & Isberg, 1995 ; Rubinstein et al., 1993 ); (b) the association between tinnitus and disorders in both neck and jaw (CSD plus TMD) in three studies ( Bonaconsa et al., 2010 ; Peroz, 2003 ; Rocha & Sanchez, 2007 ); (c) the association between tinnitus and TMD (not specified) in six studies ( Buergers et al., 2014 ; De Felicio et al., 2008 ; Effat, 2016 ; Fernandes et al., 2013 ; Park & Moon, 2014 ; Pekkan et al., 2010 ); (d) the association between tinnitus and TMDa in 11 studies ( Akhter et al., 2013 ; Bernhardt et al., 2004 ; Camparis et al., 2005 ; Hilgenberg et al., 2012 ; Khedr et al., 2010 ; Kuttila et al., 2005 ; Parker & Chole, 1995 ; Peroz, 2003 ; Pezzoli et al., 2015 ; Rubinstein et al., 1993 ; Tuz et al., 2003 ); and (e) the association between tinnitus and TMDm in seven studies ( Bernhardt et al., 2004 ; Camparis et al., 2005 ; Hilgenberg et al., 2012 ; Peroz, 2003 ; Pezzoli et al., 2015 ; Ren & Isberg, 1995 ; Tuz et al., 2003 ). Some studies considered multiple associations and, as a consequence, belonged to more than one category ( Table 1 ).…”

“…Of the patients who were recruited from specialized TMD clinics, 20% to 59% perceived tinnitus; when recruited elsewhere, 21% to 48% perceived tinnitus. Eight studies investigated TMDa in patients with and without tinnitus ( Bernhardt et al., 2004 ; Camparis et al., 2005 ; Hilgenberg et al., 2012 ; Khedr et al., 2010 ; Kuttila et al., 2005 ; Peroz, 2003 ; Pezzoli et al., 2015 ; Rubinstein, 1993 ). Conversely, three studies examined tinnitus in patients with and without TMDa ( Akhter et al., 2013 ; Parker & Chole, 1995 ; Tuz et al., 2003 ).…”
